Description

This Mini is fully race-ready and has been meticulously maintained for competitive racing. Having raced just once this season with the Classic Sports Car Club (CSCC), it has proven to be a strong contender in recent events. Over the years, this car has been campaigned at the highest levels with several prestigious clubs, including the CSCC, Masters, Equipe, Historic Sports Car Club (HSCC), and the Historic Racing Drivers Club (HRDC), demonstrating its reliability and performance in competitive environments.

The car’s shell was expertly constructed by the renowned Mini specialist Bill Solis, ensuring it is both structurally sound and race-optimized. The safety cage was fitted by Andy Robinson, adding to its robustness. The car features a lightweight wiring loom, and both the fuel tank and battery box were designed and built by Chris Snowdon Racing, a team known for their precision and attention to detail in race car preparation.

Powering this Mini is a Swiftune engine, which has only two seasons on the clock and has always been meticulously maintained by Swiftune. The current engine is equipped with the latest Swiftune parts and underwent a complete refresh before the season. It has since only been raced once this year, ensuring its reliability for future events.

The car features a Stack rev counter with shift lights and a GPS speed readout, providing accurate performance metrics to optimize track times.

The car comes with two sets of highly desirable rose petal alloys, along with various Dunlop L-section tyres, ready to tackle various circuit conditions. The tyres are carefully selected to match the car's handling characteristics, offering excellent grip and stability.

Additionally, the car is supplied with new HTP (Historic Technical Passport) papers, valid for 10 years, ensuring compliance with international racing standards.

For added safety, the car is equipped with an in-date racing seat, fire extinguisher, and harness belts, all up to the latest specification for racing events.

If you require more detailed photos or additional information, please do not hesitate to reach out. This is an exceptional opportunity for anyone looking to compete in a top-tier, ready-to-race Mini with a rich history of competitive success.
